    Camp Nou

    2008 was when the economic crisis hit. Nou Mestalla, again, is one of those unfortunate projects that got caught mid-crisis and was abandoned. Despite the CVC deal Valencia accepted, construction work hasn't resumed. Camp Nou renovation could have happened earlier, but I don't remember Rosell...

    Camp Nou

    As Jammy said, Laporta is on his way to deliver something that was just a PowerPoint presentation for the last 20 years, serving election campaigns. It's not cutting edge, but we are not doing just some facade work like Bernabeu with the retractable roof and underground pitch mechanics. Camp Nou...

    Joan Laporta

    The issue with Nico might run deeper than Barca's salary cap, I'm afraid. For a second season in a row this kid rejects Barca. I sense something political. Recently Barca registered big transfers, despite the notion of us being limited financially.

    Which English Club You Hate The Most?

    I used to be an Arsenal fan when Wenger lead Bergkamp/Henry/Pires at the club. That was magical period for me, but I lost the thrill during the 2006 CL final. I had to pick my original side. Haven't looked back. I still wish good to Arsenal, but I don't care much as I used to do. To be frank...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Everything happens for a reason. I believe Messi would have never performed as he did during the 2022 World Cup if he was at Barca and win the World Cup. As we know Leo played for fun at PSG, but with Argentina he was on a mission.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    On the short term, probably yes. But given the turmoils in 2022, it would have ended in the same drama scenario the next transfer summer window.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    CVC meant selling 10% of the club image & media rights to an equity fund for 50 years for a one time 2.7bn cash injection p/club, which was also intended 70% to be spent on infrastructure. As later on clubs found out, this cash injection was on installments. 500m now, 500m after next 6 months...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Nothing could have saved Messi's contract at Barca. Get over it. Only Tebas making a star exclusion from the FFP rule, which could have cost him his head.

    Premier League 25/26

    Arsenal look the better team, but it's still research game, both teams waiting for mistakes.

    16 - Fermín López

    If he wants the starter status, so be it. The fax machine might be still broken.

    Worst Moment For You As a Barca Fan..

    2-8 vs Bayern definitely. I was watching the game in a bar with some of my best friends, who are not Barca fans btw, I felt the pity. It was beyond ridicule how poorly Barca played.

    Basketball/NBA

    It's not about the big/small market after all. It's the revenue that nobody wants to share with 2 more teams.

    The thrill is gone. Pep is at this stage of his career.

    Rank the 3 UCL runners up team eras

    IMO Atletico were the most consistent in that era. But one club is missing in that poll and I'll have to turn back the clock to around year 2000 - Valencia CF.

    Basketball/NBA

    There's a commission set up by NBA to evaluate a potential expansion of Las Vegas and... Seattle.:lol: Total crap! First they demanded Seattle build a proper basketball arena, they've done so. Now it's evaluation... it's clear as a day, Seattle is no-brainer as the big market, they already have...
